Sugar Creek is a fine stream to canoe in the summer. I also like to visit in the fall and winter. This year it is as high as I've seen it---with areas of rapids.
The beauty of this Indiana stream flows through the seasons of the year. Even in December's peace the joyful splash of the water's flow feeds the soul.

Never fear; Spring is here
Just about everyone hears about the ocean's krill; the bottom of the food chain for ocean dwellers, but hardly anything is said about the bottom of the food chain in our own backyard.
Take a tablespoon of water from a pond or stream in December and it will be as clean and empty as a tablespoon of tap water. Take another tablespoon from that same pond or stream in February and you will find it teeming with life that is getting ready to feed the spring and summer. The bottom of the food chain is starting to gear up for good things to come at a pond, river, or wetland near you.
